In the PC version of Assassin's Creed, there was also a secondary mission called "Merchant Stand Destruction", in which Altaïr needed to destroy a set number of merchant stands within a time limit. The explanation for this was that the targeted merchants were selling products that were causing illnesses.

In the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed, the "Gifted Escapist"achievement was unlocked for diving through twenty merchant stands.

Should Ezio walk under a merchant stall banner that indicated its type, the banner would move, even though he was too short for his head to touch it.
